The people spoke to the AP on Saturday on condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced the deal.Analysis: Johnson has played the last three seasons with the Vikings, starting all but one game, due to an elbow injury last November. His return means the entire offensive line will be intact for a third straight year. Johnson was first signed by the Vikings during training camp in 2011. After playing the entire season at left tackle, he moved to left guard in 2012.
